  1. Awesome riding Dan. Looks a little like Hollands Wood campsite?
  2. Evening, So despite doing more MTB these days, I couldn't resist the idea of a street trials 26". Also going to try and fun a few gears using an MTB rear mech with a clutch. Will post pics as I go along but here's the frame of choice! Big thanks to 'Cyder Man' for quick delivery. Cheers
  3. Dave, looks awesome mate. Pleased to see your getting back into it! Despite a wedding coming up I've treated myself to an Element 26" frame so will see what happens with that! Ben

  6. haha yeah inspired's are really nice don't get me wrong, does seem to be a few kicking about nowadays though forgot to list it but it's a £16.99 Superstar's chain tensioner.. . proper value bit of kit!
  7. Cheers for all the comments guys. Definitely rides how I want it to! In regards to the forks. . I may look to change them at a later date as they came straight of the GU, but for now seem to ride ok. Also stem height is limited by my steerer length at the moment which I thought might be a bit low but again, rides spot on so not sure if I would want to change it.

  9. Cheers, Its cube's own 'muddy' board, basically stops all the shit flicking off onto the shock. Shock placement is a good idea for the linkage but leaves the shock a bit exposed.
  10. Cheers guys. Rides really nice, had a long ride at Swindley forest on it today and felt pretty good, reverb definately coming in handy

  12. Cheers for the quick replies! They are powder coated try-all rims. Any ideas on a b&q rim tape substitute?
  13. Evening, Tomorrow I have a day off so Im going to get on and strip the paint off my rims/retape. What is the best way to do it? I've been told to use Nitromorse but is there a laquer or something you should use after? And what other rim tape substitutes do people use? Cheers, Ben
  14. yeah feels good with the riser bars. . enjoyed my day off riding it
  15. Evening, Thought id show share pictures of my bike. . very nicely hand delivered by James Quigley from the Isle of Wight. Changed the bars, grips, pedals and front tyre and it looks like this: Already rides a 100% better than my old ciguena 24! Cheers for looking, Ben
